A Texas Hero

A Texas Hero

 This book surprised me; first it’s a super romance, which I really do not like to read. But it was a gift for Christmas from my sister, so I starting reading it and just couldn't put it down. Starts off with a lady stopping in the middle of the road and gets rear ended by a cop, next a robbery and then a kidnapping, and it just keeps getting better and better. Lots of action, great characters, and awesome read. I gave it five stars
